Waaaaay too much servo!!!! You don't need that much anywhere on the plane. 5955's or 8611's are overkill except at the rudder, and even then they are on the high side.

As a guy that really, really loved JR products, and still flies JR radios and receivers, I would save some dough and run with Hitec servos. The 86 and 8711's have a bit of a problem with gear wear that you really don't need any of that this new to the game. Why be pulling servos and sending them back for repair every "X" number of flight? It wasn't that long ago I would never have said that but truth is truth.

The Hitecs will last a very long time and still have a tight gear train.
